The Hawaii Goldfish and Carp Association (HGCA) was founded in 1959. This makes it the first Goldfish and Koi club in the United States and possibly the oldest such organization in the world.

This past weekend the club held it's first Koi & Goldfish Show in over twenty years. Turnout was huge with hundreds upon hundreds of attendees and over one hundred Koi entered.

Under the leadership of club President Guy Kmett and Showchair Shirleen Horimoto and the generous sponsorship of Nikkei Koi, the club membership pitched together to put on a fantastic Show that was full of the Aloha spirit.

Pictured here is Karl Sinclair's Grand Champion Ginrin Kohaku.

Congratulations to all who made this Show an event to be remembered!
